Monday assembly — celebrating learning

Every Monday morning, St. Patrick's BNS comes together for whole-school assembly. Classes share learning and news, and we celebrate Captaen na Seachtaine — the weekly armband awarded in each classroom for effort, attendance and enjoying school. A small weekly ritual that means a lot to our boys. More: https://www.stpatricksboys.net/initiatives/weekly-school-assembly/

Lunch Time Pals

Lunch Time Pals is a lively St. Patrick's BNS tradition. Every Tuesday and Thursday at big break, our 6th class organise games and activities for the whole school — basketball, chess, story time, ping pong and more. It's leadership in action for the older boys, and a happier lunchtime for everyone. More: https://www.stpatricksboys.net/initiatives/lunch-time-pals/

Meet Tadhg, our school therapy dog

Meet Tadhg — our school therapy dog at St. Patrick's BNS. Tadhg is part of everyday school life, supporting pupils and staff. Boys can spend time with him during the day — walking, playing, or a quiet belly rub when they need it. We're grateful to My Canine Companion and to Mr Mullins, Ms Kelleher and Mr Foley for caring for Tadhg. He recently graduated from training college with honours — we're very proud of him.
